Official fisherman's house
The Amtsfischerhaus in Bremen is a building erected from 1968 to 1970 in the old town of Schnoorviertel . Its name goes back to the former seat of the official fisherman , which was located on Grossenstrasse in the Stephaniviertel . The building, which probably dates from around 1650, was demolished in 1938 while the facade was salvaged and stored. After the destruction of the Second World War , historical buildings were used in the course of the reconstruction in some places in Bremen, including the facade of the former fishermen's house, which was faded in front of the new Schnoor 35 building.
Building history
The building was first erected as a half-timbered house around 1650. In 1759 it was rebuilt and expanded. The facade was given its current appearance in the Rococo style with sandstone structure of the ground floor and the first floor, a two-story gorge and the brick-facing gable triangle.
The name official fisherman's house appeared for the first time after another renovation in 1911/12. During the restoration, which became necessary due to the building's deterioration, a new interior was created based on designs by the Worpswede painter Heinrich Vogeler .
In connection with the urban redevelopment in the 1930s, the house was sacrificed to a new road connection and demolished. Due to its historical and art-historical importance, the facade was salvaged and stored.
From 1968 to 1970 the facade was reused for the new building of Schnoor No. 35. The client was Schnoor GmbH. The entire building ensemble was placed under monument protection in 1973.
meaning
The term official fisherman dates back to 1541. An official building was built in Bremen for the administration of fishing and angling rights on the Weser. However, there is no documentary evidence of the first official in this house until 1746. Over the centuries, the legal regulations for both the practice of the profession and the permission for private individuals have been changed several times. When the freedom of trade was introduced in 1861, the guild (the “office”) of the fishermen was the only Bremen guild not to be dissolved because it was, to a certain extent, the holder of Bremen rights against the other Weseruferstaten. Even today, the exercise of state sovereign rights is no longer tied to the seat of the responsible state administration. At present (as of 2010) the Bremen Fisheries Office, based at Violenstrasse 49, is responsible for administration and supervision.
Until December 31, 2009, the name Amtsfischerhaus was also used by a fish restaurant that was located in a neighboring new building (address Schnoor 31).
